Wush Wush reborn in the heart of Santander.

This Wush Wush Natural from La Pradera is a celebration of biodiversity and bold flavor. Cultivated by Óscar Daza—renowned for his eco-conscious farming—it offers a vibrant, floral cup with notes of tropical fruit, berries, and jasmine. A rare gem grown where sustainability meets sensory excellence.

In the heart of the Chicamocha Canyon, at high elevations and under a dry tropical climate, Hacienda La Pradera cultivates one of Colombia’s most captivating varieties: Wush Wush. Known for its floral elegance and layered complexity, this lot underwent a natural process, allowing the whole cherry to dry slowly under controlled conditions, enhancing its wild and expressive character.
Behind this coffee is Óscar Daza, a producer widely recognized for his eco-friendly agricultural practices, integrating biodiversity conservation, organic methods, and regenerative soil care.

The result is a cup bursting with tropical fruit, jasmine, and ripe berries, supported by a velvety body and a long, juicy finish. A rare experience from a farm where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.

A few words about Oscar Daza

We met Oscar Daza, owner of Finca La Pradera in Aratoca (in the region of Santander). After spending his childhood in the heart of the coffee plantations, Oscar has taken the farm over from his grandfather José Rosario Daza, then his father Hector, and is now part of the third generation. Oscar and his wife Mildred are at the head of 13 farms representing 185 hectares. Mildred is at the origin of the Santa Maria project which promotes the production of women's coffee with 5 farms and 80 hectares.  

Oscar is recognised and appreciated in the region. He has received numerous awards for his commitment and work. He is also very involved in local community projects and, in particular, he created "Pilos del café", a coffee-growing project for young people at the Clavellinas school. 

The 4th generation is promising! We spoke to Bryan and Andrea, Oscar's nephew and niece. They are currently studying commerce and communication in the city of Bucaramanga and are keen to take over the family farm from Oscar and Mildred.  

All are certified organic and Bird Friendly. He is the first in the region to finance his own organic certification, which is something the Federation generally pays for. He has an entrepreneurial temperament, and it was this that pushed him to become independent, in order to find his own customers, be free to make his own decisions and manage his production in line with his own vision of coffee growing. Despite a few difficult years spent battling with the Federation, Oscar has finally found his own customers and now sells more than 60% of his production directly for export.
